I'm really, really enjoying the benefits of having lost 81 lbs. The increased activity and energy level, the clothing!!!, more outgoing socially, the fitting into places better, no more seat belt worries, just taking up less space on the planet, etc. But I am NOWHERE NEAR done and I can't wait to see what losing another 81 lbs is going to do for me. It can only be loads and loads better and I am really looking forward to it.
My one reason to stay on plan today is so that I can keep this feeling of pride I have. I haven't always been proud of myself in my life -- I've often felt like I couldn't do anything right (especially when it comes to physical or active things). Today I did my first group run with a 10k training team, and not only did I keep up, but I was one of the runners who didn't take any walk breaks and who ended up passing other people. It's not about competition, and I wasn't trying to "race," but it feels good to know that I'm not the slowest person, like I thought I would be. I can expect better things from myself now, and I want to keep that feeling forever.
I am staying on plan today because today was my first official WW weigh in and I saw a 4.8lb loss since last Thursday!!
Only 103 more to go!!! I can't wait until there is less than 100 lbs to lose!!!
I am staying on plan today because I like the feeling of not stuffing myself to death during each meal. Now I am feeling full and stopping before I get stuffed!
The one reason that I am staying on plan today is that I don't want to gain anymore weight then I have to with quitting smoking so I can not use food for my oral fixation.
My one reason for staying on plan today is because I know that even one day off plan can throw you completely off if you're not careful. You can get right back on plan, but you might not -- how many times have I done that in the past, and ruined my progress? I refuse to risk that.
I love the feeling of me being "in control" of my food intake. Just eating well and healthy and normal sized portions. I'm proud of how I eat now and I could share it with the world instead of hiding my eating habits. There's another thread going on here at the 100lb club, "Shocked by things you used to eat" and it got me thinking about my "old" life. Those days were horrible, just horrible. Totally out of control eating, not even thinking about the consequences, just thinking about when I could get my next fix. The misery, the lonliness, the shame, the fear and I never, ever want to go back to that.
I'm staying on plan today because.. that's my plan. I went out to dinner last night (planned) - and had a big meal. I already have today planned out... yeah for me!
Today's ONE reason:
